The CORTEX is the
outermost layer of brain cells. Thinking and voluntary movements begin in the cortex. The BRAIN STEM is between the spinal cord and the rest of the brain. Basic functions like breathing and sleep are The BASAL GANGLIA are a cluster of structures in the center of the brain. The basal ganglia coordinate messages The CEREBRUM, the large, outer part of the brain , controls reading, thinking, learning, speech, emotions and planned muscle movements like walking. The CEREBELLUM is at the base and the back of the brain. The cerebellum is responsible for coordination, balance and movement. The brain is also divided into several lobes: 1. The Frontal Lobe is responsible for problem solving, judgment and motor function. 2.The Parietal Lobe manages sensation, handwriting, and body position. 3.The Temporal Lobe is involved with memory and hearing 4. The Occipital Lobe contain the brain’s visual processing Brain Game Processing 1. What is a brain? How does it work? 2. Give the different parts of the brain and its functions? 3. Why is there a need for us to know the different parts and functions of the LEFT BRAIN DOMINANCE RIGHT BRAIN DOMINANCE Learning a new language Drawing Solving puzzles Playing an instrument Solving math problems Singing Playing intelligence and Playing games that require strategy games imagination
Deals with logic and facts Playing colorful and
audible intelligence games Functions of the cerebrum include initiation of movement, coordination of movement, temperature, touch, vision, hearing, judgment, reasoning and problem solving. The cerebrum the large outer part of the brain controls reading, thinking, learning, speech, emotions and planned muscle movement like walking 4 Lobes of the brain
-The cerebral hemispheres have
distinct fissures, which divided the brain into lobes. -Each hemisphere has 4 lobes: Frontal, Temporal, Parietal, and Occipital. Each lobe may be divided, once again, into areas that serve very specific functions. Its important to understand that each lobe of the brain does not function alone. There are very complex relationships between the lobes of the brain and between the right and left hemisphere FRONTAL LOBE -The largest section of the brain located in the front of the head, the frontal lobe is involved in personality characteristics and movement. Recognition of smell usually involves parts of the frontal lobe. -Personality, behavior, emotions -Judgment, planning, problem solving -Speech: speaking and writing (Broca’s Area) -Body movement (motions) -Intelligence, concentration, self awareness PARIETAL LOBE -The middle part of the brain, the parietal lobe helps a person to identify objects and understand spatial relationships(where one’s body is compared to objects around the person) -The parietal lobe is also involved in interpreting pain and touch in the body. *Interprets language, words *Sense of touch, pain, temperature(sensory strip) *Interprets signals from vision, hearing, motor, sensory and memory -Spatial and visual perception TEMPORAL LOBE -The sides of the brain, these temporal lobes are involved in short-term memory, speech, musical rhythm, and some degree of smell recognition *Understanding language(Wernicke’s area) *Memory *Hearing *Sequencing and organization • The primary function of the cerebellum is to maintain posture and balance. When we jump to the side, reach forward or turn suddenly it subconsciously evaluates each movement. The cerebellum then send signal to cerebrum indicating muscle movement that will adjust our position to keep us steady. • Spinal Cord. A large bundle of nerve fibers connected in the back that extend from the base of the brain to the lower back, the spinal cord carries messages to and from the brain and the rest of the body. -You may hear that someone is a “right- brained” or “left- brained” individual. This is called brain dominance,” meaning that an individual has a natural preference for processing information on one side of the brain. The right side is considered the intuitive or spontaneous side and the left side is logical. Knowing an individual’s brain dominance can help you understand the ways of thinking, behaving, speaking, and functioning. Also it can help parents and educators activities to a child’s natural learning preferences. RIGHT-BRAINED These people are: *Intuitive *Risk-taker *Creative They prefer: *Imagination *Holistic thinking *Rhythm *Feelings Visualization *Daydreaming *Adventure *Writing *Fantasies *Self expressing 2. In general, how do the functions of the brain affect the learning process of a person? 3. What concepts have you learned in this module? 4.
